    Hello,

    I think you can do it with a box plot with jittered points, usually I see it done with box plot but here you have just to change the x axis of the dots.
    You can try in AppSource visual to install “Box and Whisker Chart”, add category to Axis, value to Values.
    But for sure you can do it with Python visual with seaborn or matplotlib.

    Anyway I would just call it a box plot, with some visual differencies.

That chart is a Box-and-Whisker plot (often called a Box plot) with individual data points overlaid (sometimes called a jittered dot plot). You cannot get this  with native visuals alone.

 

1) Box and Whisker custom visual (simplest)

  • Use a Box and Whisker custom visual from AppSource

  • Most support:

    • Min / Q1 / Median / Q3 / Max

    • Showing individual points (outliers or all values)

  • Limitation: formatting flexibility varies

2) Deneb (Vega-Lite) – best control

  • Use Deneb to layer:

    • a box plot (quartiles)

    • a scatter plot (employee salaries)

  • This gives you exactly what you described: ranges + dots
